michigan is decisively on the side of obama. if you look at the geographical pattern of the vote. 44% in the detroit metro area, president obama had it in 2008. there is not much going on there for mitt romney. there is a three-point increase on the minority voters, seven-point decline among white, noncollege voters, eligible voters. these are huge changes and they go exactly against what is in the interest of the romney team. the romney team in wisconsin. maybe if they thought they would be able to take advantage what they believed to be this conservative white working-class voters by electing nominating paul ryan. they are making some progress, according to the poll, but some progress among white college graduates, but it's not anywhere close to what needs to take place. florida is a state, let's face it, if the romney campaign loses florida, chances of winning the 2012 election are close to zero. if we look at the pattern of support among the white working class, 17 points in 2008. we are not seeing any noticeably eager margi

in his past eight years before president obama took office, there is a growing disparity. we must reignite the american dream, build ladders of opportunity to work hard, play by the rules, take responsility, recognize the small business entrepreneurship in a strong middle class. we were to do to achieve that come especially since it is very clear that there are those who would snuff out the american dream. so in this election, our names are on the ballot, marcia fudge's name, john lewis, melvin watt, our names are on the ballot. but whatever is on the ballot is nothing less than our democracy. because our founders -- they sacrifice their life, their liberty and sacred honor for a democracy. the government of the many, not the government of the many. [applause] and these people are more billions of dollars have said there bladen. they say, what difference does it mean if echo $100 billion on the table or 200 or 300 or $400 million into the election? i'm going to save billions of dollars on my estate tax. it's all transactional. my industry is going to a subsidy. it's going
